you might want to consider clang_complete with ultisnips. it generates tab triggers for objective-c methods. i tried to add that functionality to youcompleteme, but the main problem with it is that youcompleteme tries to be very generic in completions, therefore there is no real way of knowing what kind of methods you get back from your completion backend. you could hack it to do some regex parsing on method names, but i'd really suggest that if objective-c is your main target go for clangcomplete+ultisnips. https://github.com/Rip-Rip/clang_complete https://github.com/Rip-Rip/clang_complete https://github.com/SirVer/ultisnips https://github.com/SirVer/ultisnips
